Sheboygan studies makerspace possibility

Étude Group, a Sheboygan nonprofit, is studying the feasibility of creating a makerspace in Sheboygan’s FreshTech Innovation District.

A makerspace is a place where people with shared interests and diverse skills can gather to work on projects while sharing ideas, equipment and knowledge. Étude will introduce the concept of a makerspace and collect data through a series of focus groups, interviews and experiential making events hosted throughout the county.

The six-month study is being done in coordination with the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corp. and the City of Sheboygan, which are funding the study.
